I wouldn’t hire someone who was too lazy to proofread over someone who wasn’t; would you?

Since "would you?" is incomplete, a comma would be correct here rather than a semicolon.

South Florida is full of these small cinder block houses because everything else gets wrecked and these survive. Sure, they might need some new roof sections, and maybe the drywall cut 4ft from the floor, but porcelain tiles on a concrete slab with cinder block walls is going to last until the rebar rots.

There's a house that just went up I saw which meets the recent Florida keys codes, and it is a goddamned fortress. It's on a lot that is raised 4 ft, the house is made of concrete and sits on 15+ ft concrete pilings, ceramic roof, and high impact windows all around. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/374-Mahogany-Dr-Key-Largo-FL-33037/104218949_zpid/

Do you think you are not somehow paying for each and every one of those expenses as well as a healthy return to investors, in your rent?

This is the real explanation. There is no more choice to rent a cheap apartment or buy an expensive house. You can live in a van maybe but that's being outlawed in many states. My brother in law and his family are paying almost $2000/month for a shitty apartment built in the 1970s. I bet the same place will be $4000 in 10 years, and even shittier.

Well clearly you drank the Comcast kool-aid. Bandwidth is nothing like clean water supply, food, or generated electricity. It's more like traffic on a highway. Sure, there is a finite amount of room on the highway, but until you hit that at any one time, there is room on the highway for more traffic.

It could be a problem if everyone was playing flight simulator at the same time but they are not.

This goes back to around 2000. Snake hunting in the Everglades middle of the night, my friend and I saw a black panther. I know, I know, impossible, Florida doesn't have them etc etc etc. we both saw it clear as in a zoo in the floodlights of his truck. 100% big cat, 100% black.

An e bike if you can use one in your situation is probably way better for the environment than replacing a vehicle. It is energy intensive to wheel around two tons of steel and rubber to transport one human from point a to b, even if BEVs do it much more efficiently and cleanly than internal combustion vehicles do.

I wish we had more places in the US where it made sense to replace a vehicle with a cargo e bike

Id go so far as to say SaaS in general. Small startups are paying $5000/month to send emails and we've come to the point where inboxes are monopolized and if you don't pay up to a cloud provider your emails end up in spam.

Take this and repeat for everything. Monopolize, ratchet up the costs, profit.

I just got back from Quebec and vas surprised to see a ton of electric cars- like California levels of full electric cars on the road. I have to assume that most of them have made it through the winter alright, otherwise we'd be hearing about it. They do test these things in very cold climates before they sell them.

At some point though the benefit of moving away from fossil fuels infrastructure outweighs the labor and strategic protection afforded by tariffs. IMO we are at that point- if we keep on doing what we're doing for another 30-50 years union jobs probably won't matter when vast parts of the world become uninhabitable
